We see them around the Biltmore lake on the north side of Camelback just east of Hillstone Restaurant and a pair often fly past our building heading Southwest in the evening. A block south of our building there is an office complex with a large lake and at least once I saw the geese heading there.

A week and a bit ago on Sunday morning Nurit saw two Canada Geese and five goslings heading south across Highland Ave toward the second pond. Yesterday I walked around the office building on 22nd and Highland and saw some Canada Geese with goslings swimming there.
I suspect that the Geese had a nest up by the lake on Camelback but felt threatened after their eggs hatched and brought the young goslings down across Camelback, 24th Street and Highland to this presumably safer place. What a journey.
A word of caution. The two families of Canada Geese pictured are probably not the same ones. The brood size is different and the age looks wrong. But we know the geese spend time at both places and that at least some of them walked from Camelback at 27th St to Highland at 22nd St, a journey about three quarters of a mile, and survived.

I know you’re used to one line and a photo from my posts. But this is a good story with lots of interesting subtexts. One it is a environmental success story, wild birds in an urban area. Two if large tasty looking birds are living in a populated area nobody is starving. Three nature is everywhere if you pay attention. Phoenician drivers are very considerate. And finally parenting is not species specific.
